Soulcalibur 4

XD nice

You should make a fighting games review thread, IMO 😉

I did a juggle with Tira today that took off at least around 70-80% of my friends health in a normal match. 😐

I must figure out how I did that.

And, on an unrelated note, getting the 8-way run down is soooooooooooo helpful against Sigfried/Nightmare players. The ones I tend to play against like to spam vertical attacks, and sidestepping just makes things too easy.

Vertical attacks are stupid with Siegfried/Nightmare, they take too long to do and are easily avoidable. The forward-forward-horizontal (I dont know the lingo for fighting games >.<😉 attack just smacks everyone away and is much faster, I played the Descending tower and pretty much killed people in 2 hits, first hit was the horizontal strike to knock them down, then while they are down do the forward-forward vertical attack. Dead. Not to mention the horizontal attack is awesome for ring outs 😈

And speaking of Tira, she's probably my least favourite character in SC4, I just can't get hold of her moveset disgust She's good to play against, but her attacks are awkward for me. srug

Performing critical finishing moves are so hard. I can hardly perform even one. Now I'm thinking I wasted $60.

So you regret buying the game because you suck at it?

Can't you go through at least one thread where you don't sound like a jerk?

Do you ever post anything relevant?

And your complaints DO sounds like you simply regret buying it because you suck at it.

Practise in training mode, set your soul gauge high, the CPU's to none, set their attack as recorded and just record the block move for a while. Play it back and practise.

I'm only bad at Critical Finisher. People have been complaining that it's difficult as well.

Isn't it mapped to just one button? You just beat them down til their Soul Gauge flashes red, wait for them to block then hit them so they're stunned, then hit your finisher button.

So I just hit the enemy while he/she's being blocked and then press the L1 button, and I'll perform Critical Finish?

They have to be staggering, meaning they have to block a guard-breaking attack.

allow me to explain how to do one..

repeatedly hit a certain level of their body until their bar is flashing
be it HIGH , LOW, or MID

as you continue to hit that specific area during flashing, you have to be prepared for the instant the soul crush happens (which can only occur during a guard, as far as I know), which is a shatter sound followed by a red effect, and your enemy will undergo a stun animation... thats exactly the time you press all 4 buttons (on the 360 its shortcutted to the left bumper), and if you were fast enough you will perform the critical finisher

The one-hit death was one thing that I didn't like implemented into SC4, given it's situational and requires alot of things for it to happen, however it's one thing that I have never liked implemented into any fighting game.

nemesis wasted 60 bucks because he can't do the 1 hit kills?

Wow.

I won't lie, I still can't do a critical finisher. 😐

But yeah the game is fun as hell, my fave is still Nightmare, and some characters(Tira in particular) have been greatly improved fighting-wise.

I am pretty good with the Sith Apprentice as well.

The Apprentice rules. His ending in Story Mode just makes gamers want to have the Force Unleashed even more.

it is hard. I've only seen them in training. Vader's is awesome.

What?

Critical
